“Prove it. I don’t believe you.”

I’ve had boys and men challenge my Taekwondo abilities since I was six. Even now, as a Taekwondo Master with over 20 years of practice, it still hasn’t gotten better. I learned to fight hard. Not just physically, but to be seen.

I wondered if I was the only one experiencing exclusion in fitness. My team and I spoke with 100+ people across the U.S. who shared stories of social and emotional exclusion: being stared at in gyms, judged by trainers, or unseen by the fitness industry altogether.

We built FitKind™ because movement should meet you where you are, not demand you earn your place. While not all of us are public-facing, our growing team of seven is committed to helping you find your kind of fitness.

“Liberation is the opportunity for every human, no matter their body, to have unobstructed access to their highest self, for every human to live in radical self-love.”

— Sonya Renee Taylor

This is what we believe. This is what we’re building.

What It Means to Be a FitKinder

Being a FitKinder isn’t about how you look or how you move.

It’s about how you feel, how you heal, and how you show up for yourself and for others.

We believe:

  • Joy over judgment

  • Self-trust over shame

  • Community over competition

  • Healing over hustle

  • Enough over excess
